But several workers at the Tema port expansion project claim that members of the management company overseeing the project do not speak English or understand their accent, and therefore, do not understand their demands. “Most of the Chinese management don’t speak English,” said Moses Chanotey, a worker who has been on the port expansion project since November 2016.
